FreeBSD support

[pastra]

Really looking forward to seeing and using the Pinebook Pro!
I'm keen on getting FreeBSD running on it and wonder if anyone know which state it is atm?
Is there anything at all booting?

Plenty of experience from porting embedded Linux as well as Android, so thought it would be fun to dive into the BSD pool as well.

This was addressed to some extent in the July update (scroll down for the update on the *BSDs):

@danielt: Yes, I saw that. I just wanted to know if anyone seen any other progress anywhere? I'll dive in to FreeBSD's phabricator and see if I can find out anything more than just reading the git history.

I managed to get one in the first batch so hopefully I can start playing with that in a couple of weeks.

Nice to hear - keep us posted...
I didn't make it to the 1'st batch, so it looks like I'll have to wait 2 months for the PBP.
Which unfortunately means it won't arrive before EUROBSDCON in Lillehammer (mid September).

Have any of you plans to visit any BSD-conference?
Great places to meet like-minded people and during lounge-hacking in the evening form small groups to solve problems or create new features ie. for the PBP

Hi pastra,
I'm also waiting for FreeBSD on RK3399
For now FreeBSD current can boot into single user mode only, using the port:

https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/u-boot-rockpro64/

I've report the bug on bugzilla:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_b...?id=240541

and John-Mark Gurney posted a hack to the issue a few days ago

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/free...20453.html

And @manu is working on the problem

Great!
I follow the freebsd-arm mailing list, but have not yet any rk3399 hw to develop on.
Hopefully the pinebook pro is just a couple of more days away.

What about NetBSD? Any chance?

Try the port-arm@netbsd.org mailing list, this was just posted.  Apparently HDMI is a big deal, I tried a Raspberry Pi OpenBSD image a year or so ago and it didn't have it yet.  This is probably more about the Pinebook than the PineBook Pro.

Does anyone have any news about FreeBSD on the Pinebook Pro? I see that there are builds labeled for "PINEBOOK" at https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapsho...0/?C=M&O=D but I'm guessing those are for the regular Pinebook and not Pinebook Pro.
